    Description

    The National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module, with Part Number 780587-44, is designed as an 8×1 Terminated Multiplexer that operates at a minimum input frequency of 10 Megahertz and can handle a maximum RF frequency up to 6.6 GHz. Its characteristic impedance is specified at 50 ohms (Z0), which ensures compatibility with standard RF systems.

    Equipped with AC Coupling, the module can safely manage a DC input voltage of up to ±8 volts. The module utilizes FET switches for signal routing and features SMA connectors for reliable and easy interconnections. It is capable of withstanding a maximum safe continuous RF power of +30 dBm when the chassis is powered on, and +20 dBm when the chassis is powered off.

    The insertion loss thermal coefficient (α) of the PXIe-2544 is 3,402 ppm/°C, indicating its performance stability over varying temperatures. It boasts a maximum switch operating time of just 122 microseconds, allowing for quick signal switching in time-sensitive applications. Weighing 538 grams and measuring 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches in dimensions, the module is both compact and lightweight for easy integration into PXI systems.

    Dimensions (L x W x H) 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inchesQuestion 1: What is the maximum RF frequency that the National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module can handle, and what is its maximum continuous RF power rating when the chassis is powered on?
    Answer 1: Yes, the National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module can handle a continuous RF power of +30 dBm when the chassis is powered on and +20 dBm when it is powered off, and it has a weight of 538 grams with dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches.

    Question 2: What are the specifications and features of the National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module, including its part number, frequency range, impedance, coupling type, switch mechanism, connector type, power handling, thermal coefficient, switch timing, weight, and dimensions?
    Answer 2: The insertion loss thermal coefficient of the National Instruments PXIe-2544 RF Multiplexer Switch Module is 3,402 ppm/°C, which indicates that its performance is relatively stable over a range of temperatures, as this value quantifies the change in insertion loss with respect to temperature changes.

    Question 3: Can the National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module, with a weight of 538 grams and dimensions of 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches, handle a continuous RF power of +30 dBm when the chassis is powered on and +20 dBm when it is powered off?
    Answer 3: The insertion loss thermal coefficient of the National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module is 3,402 ppm/°C, which reflects its performance stability in different temperatures by quantifying how much the insertion loss changes with temperature; a lower coefficient would indicate less variation and therefore greater stability across temperature fluctuations.

    Question 4: What is the insertion loss thermal coefficient of the National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module, and how does it reflect its performance stability in different temperatures?
    Answer 4: The National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module, with part number 780587-44, is an 8×1 Terminated Multiplexer that operates within a frequency range of 10 Megahertz to 6.6 GHz, has a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms, features AC Coupling, uses FET switches for signal routing, and is equipped with SMA connectors. It can handle a maximum RF power of +30 dBm when the chassis

    Question 5: What is the insertion loss thermal coefficient of the National Instruments PXIe-2544 RF Multiplexer Switch Module, and how does this affect its performance in varying temperature conditions?
    Answer 5: The National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module can handle a maximum RF frequency of up to 6.6 GHz and has a maximum continuous RF power rating of +30 dBm when the chassis is powered on.
